You are surrounded by miles of parklands. They have free bicycles you can ride into downtown Philly with(20 minutes - it's all down hill through lovely parkland with a great view of the Philadelphia skyline and you can catch the bus back for $1.30 -buy a bus token at the hostel - while resting your bike on the bus bike rack). It's only $18 per bed and the staff is informative and friendly. There is a kitchen laundry, and cable TV room. There is only one other hostel in Philly which is situauted smack in the historic district. If you're up for something off-off the beaten path and you like bike riding this is defintely worth cheking out... I mean checking into. Getting there is a bit tricky so zoom in on your google map ahead of time.close
